I’ve set up a tablet to act as a dashboard, and I’d like to add a card to it highlighting any issues which we might need to take care of.
For example, remote batteries getting low.
My current attempt uses an entity-filter card and booleans which are hidden if they are disabled. Automations in node-red will enable these booleans as they become things which we need to pay attention to.
This is not ideal for a couple of reasons:
- We could accidentally disable them from this page, so if I use this method I’d like some way to make them view-only
- I have to create a boolean for each potential issue I implement
- I can’t display more information about the issue
I’m thinking the ideal thing would probably be a text array which could be set from node-red and viewed in Lovelace. Then node-red could add to and subtract from that array as issues come and go, and lovelace could hide the card if it’s empty, but as far as I can tell there’s no entity that would allow that.
What approach have/would you take for this?
Cheers
